What are we in for?

http://www.fquick.com/articles/Louis...s_Aston_Martin

the title of the link says it all...

Quote:

Ford Motor Company's Aston Martin brand is being bought by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the most high-profile luxury goods consortium in the world, joining the 60-or-so other brands that already make up the group. Aston Martin will be the first luxury car brand in LVMH's portfolio and it is the first to be run by a lifestyle/luxury goods group. The sale price wasn't revealed, but Aston Martin was reportedly valued at as much as $1.2 billion last December. Ford Motor Company, which put Aston Martin up for sale to begin with, is said to be retaining 15% interest.

You can guarantee that Louis Vuitton interiors are already in the works:rolleyes:

LVMH owns a lot of major copanies from Moet and Hennesy to Tag Watches and Christian Dior.
We can expect much more attention to detail, as if it was a problem in the 100-200k Aston's in the first place.
